Question

I’m on sql 2000.

I am getting all the banners to display on a website.

If the displayedCount != -1, then always get the row. Otherwise, I need to make sure it isn’t larger than the maxViewCount column.

So the table is like:

bannerID  viewCount maxViewCount
1         -1         0
2         100        200
3         0          200
4         201        200

So I need a select statement that will return bannerID’s 1, 2, 3

• 1 is returned because the viewCount is -1 (unlimited)
• 4 isn’t returned since it has a viewCount > maxViewCount.

Is this possible with a SELECT statement or it requires a temp table?

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE viewCount = -1 OR maxViewCount > viewCount
